Do thousands of earthquakes occur each year?
The US Geological Survey estimate that there are several million earthquakes each year, but the vast majority of these will not be detected because they are too small in magnitude to detect or are larger, but occur to far away from a seismometer station. From this number, they estimate that there are 500,000 detectable earthquakes in the world each year. 100,000 of these will be felt by humans and 100 of them will be large enough to cause damage.
How many earthquakes occur in the sea every year?
Each year, thousands of underwater earthquakes occur, with estimates often exceeding 20,000. Most of these are minor and go unnoticed, as they are detected only by seismometers and do not pose a threat to land. The exact number can vary depending on geological activity, but the majority occur in tectonically active regions like mid-ocean ridges and subduction zones.

Do Earthquakes occur only once or twice a year?
The frequency of earthquakes depends on the location. in Japan, earthquakes occur 3 times a month, and in the Sahara in Africa they occur once in five years..
What season do earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes are not a seasonal phenomenon and so the time of year has no effect on the occurrence of earthquakes. As such, earthquakes can happen at any time of the year as they occur independent of weather and climate.
How many earthquakes occur in Utah each year?
more than a thousand each year
How many earthquakes happen in California a year?

Approximately 9000-10000 earthquakes strong enough to be felt occur worldwide each year.
How many earthquakes can there be in a year?
Nobody knows how many earthquakes can happen in a year because you cannot predict earthquakes. :)
